Worse, the "now" group is just 2020 to 2025, while the 90s-2000s group is really 1990 to 2010, 20 whole years against 5 years.

People in this thread keep running headfirst into the wall that the artform is not limited by money itself, but instead by a psychosis over money. To us it is intuitive to foster skilled animators to remain on projects over years to produce high quality animation at scale. The corporations that own all these IP instead want a 3-month ROI as high as possible, with complete disregard for the following 3 months, they are so short-sighted as to be blind. They would rather spend a quarter billion dollars to get another 1 million in 3 months, than to spend just 100 million to get an additional 10 million in 6 months. When you add Hollywood "accounting" to the mix, corporations fully accept incredible losses because the federal government basically pays them for the failure. Only +$1M in September for spending $250M, then losing $200M by December? That's A-OK, it's a business expense, part and parcel of doing business, don't have to pay $200M in tax.
